The good folks over at Amazon are back and looking to change the way drones are controlled. Today the word comes down that Amazon has filed a patent submission for UAVs that can recognize human gestures and react accordingly. The patent seems to be a drone-related one, which comes along with design components for any electronics patent such as a processor, operating system, and storage. The filing also reveals designs for a “UAV Management Module” which encompasses a 4-tier design including a “Communication Component, Navigation Component, Gesture Determination Component, and Delivery Component.”

The document lists the drone’s abilities, including the capability to observe human gestures. The document also details an intricate database where human gestures are stored, as well as the drone’s ability to determine what those human gestures are, and then proceed in responding. This is not the first time Amazon has made news with drones, and it comes on the heels of announcing their own delivery service. Within the patent for the drone is also an image of the drone leaving a truck, flying to a recipient and then returning to the truck, which could add a whole new level to delivery options.

Things are getting interesting, and Amazon is looking to make some big moves. Give us your thoughts on the news below and keep it locked for more from Amazon coming soon.
